...Fokker plant to ruins. After the war, Fokker executives shepherded the remnants of the company's work force together and began to rebuild. Helped by a $7,000,000 loan from the Dutch government. Fokker introduced in 1958 its first postwar airliner, the F27. Powered by Rolls-Royce Dart engines, the F-27 (price $700,000) carries from 40 to 52 passengers, cruises at 300 m.p.h. It has a maximum range of 1,270 miles and an enviable safety record of only three crashes-all due to pilot error. So far, Fokker has sold 256 F275 to customers...
Almost everyone but Newton Minow and a small group of diehards have stopped expecting new Shakespeares, or even new Jean Kerrs, to come popping out of the tube. Occasionally, TV specials do dart guiltily into advanced culture, like the flashlights of burglars in the Metropolitan Museum. Prodded by Minow, the industry has raised its public affairs programming to an admirable level, as was evident last week from Oxford, Miss., to Cape Canaveral. But people who really care about TV-the ones who habitually watch it-are devoted to the weekly programs that contain the real stuff of television...
Between business deals, often carried out on two telephones at once, Hirshhorn pores over art books, uses every spare minute to dart in and out of galleries. Though his store of knowledge about art is awesome, he seems to operate almost entirely by instinct. "There are," he says, "two types of art-good and bad.

Occasionally, Collector Hirshhorn may take a whole day, or even two, to make up his mind about a purchase. More often, "when...
...been improved by a bolder grille and the elimination of its protruding "gunsight" taillights. The NEW YORKER has a clean and handsome new rear end, will offer luxury lovers optional bucket seats. Replacing the Dodge Lancer (which has been dropped) as the smallest Dodge is a new, intermediate-sized DART that has perky styling and peppy performance. The PLYMOUTH, which in 1962 shrank to an intermediate, has begun to grow again (to an overall length of 205 in.) and has acquired a more substantial look...
...much the YS 11 will do to revive the industry is debatable. Built by the Nihon Aeroplane Manufacturing Co. (which was formed especially for the purpose with 54% government capital), the plane incorporates a high percentage of foreign components, including its twin Rolls-Royce Dart RDa. 10/1 engines. In their desire to sell the YS 11 as a latter-day replacement for the workhorse DC-3, its designers sacrificed both speed (295 m.p.h.) and range (380 miles with a full load of 60 passengers) in order to cut the plane's normal take-off run to as little...
